My favourite page is "Specifying source files" [0], which seems like an important thing for an installer, but all this page contains is: > To be written. To volunteer, leave a comment at the related issue on GitHub. If you star

Writing 30 bullet points on how to communicate sounds like you suck at communicating. Making every employee publicly confess how much they got done today sounds like a very toxic and nannying work environment.

Were the creators of Redis responsible for making it a standard, or was it some early cloud "influencers" who stumbled upon it and promoted it in their resources?

Twenty years maintaining, but the quality of the documentation doesn’t show that. Making an installer in WiX 4 with only one or two fancy things required 3-4 days’ worth of trial-and-error, and searching the WiX sources to figure things out

I manage to get to 0 or close to that sometimes, usually through uncontorlles pagefile expansion. Some apps may misbehave, but explorer is stable enough to let me delete something.

Most users on open-source operating systems can't code as well. And even if they could, this still requires knowledge or guesswork to find the trick for the deletion. Some people suggest truncation, and that's possible with a shel

Google Podcasts wasn’t installed on my Samsung phone out-of-the-box, and the app is 5 years old. I imagine most people found a podcast app they like, or they perhaps discovered podcasts on Spotify and stayed there.

It is likely that the `xpdf` project is developed under source control, but they don’t make the repository public. SQLite makes their repository public, but they do not accept contributions.

It might work if AI stops producing random output and bullshit (which proponents call hallucinations to make it sound nice), and produces correct responses deterministically. Which may take forever.

GitHub/GitLab can generate tarballs from specific git commits, and those are cacheable and don’t change (when GitHub deployed some changes to the format, many places noticed and GitHub had to undo the changes).

If you do get hold of a live person, it can be faster and easier to talk through something synchronously rather than asynchronously exchanging emails.

How is this doctored? It’s hard to find screenshots at an exact size. But if you really can’t see the difference, here are screenshots from clean installs in both languages at two resolutions: https://i.ibb.co/CByXH82/V

There are lots of languages for mere mortals. They are not compatible with C++, but that's a feature. The next generation is largely not writing C++.

Would it work if the other language increased the text length twofold? How about right-to-left languages? What if the language is sensitive to numbers and putting a numeric textbox in the middle of a sentence would require the sentence to c

It is reasonable to consider all commits introduced by the backdoor author untrustworthy. This doesn't mean all of it is backdoored, but if they were capable of introducing this backdoor, their code needs scrutiny. I don't care wh

The first one I got was 7 * 7 + (-3). That’s trivial, elementary-school-level math, and did they really need LaTeX to render that? Then I refreshed the page, and was hit with calculus involving trig functions.

This article lists the other contenders for the title of new Redis, and I think Redict is going to be the least successful thanks to its founder, niche hosting site, and the hostile AGPL licence.

The page suggests podman in a small info box (one that people might skip, because it feels like the Wikipedian "this article has issues" box), but it also tells you how to install real Docker. Docker has name brand recognition, an

Prosecuting individual contributors to gambling is too far, but prosecuting C-level execs of gambling companies is correct to me.

The SMTP parts of receiving e-mail is simple, sure. But then your solution puts 6 AWS services between the SMTP server and the user, with four of them (SES, S3, Lambda, DynamoDB) critical for the e-mail to be seen by the user. What if SES c
